Now, I'm confuse to hard reset about Jade. Anyone can tell me?

To perform a hard reset
1. Power off your device.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, and then press the
POWER button.
"The following message then appears on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Volume Up to restore manufacturer default, or
press other keys to cancel."
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other
button to cancel the reset.

... 2. way:
1. Power off your device.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, and then press the
RESET button. (...the Red Button under the cover on the backside)
Now you will become a "Boot-Screen-Message"
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other
button to cancel the reset.

OK following the indication of this method I have succeeded in making a Hard Reset of the Jade 100 (Touch 3G).
Here as I have done (way 3):
1. Power ON the device
2. Press and Hold for 10 seconds contemporarily VOLUME DOWN + ENTER (central key on the frontside) + RESET (the red button under the cover on the backside).
3. The device will be restarted and will ask to press VOLUME UP to complete the reset.
It works so well that after a week of test the shop where I have bought him has replaced it with another model (I am waiting for the HD )
Ciao!

1. Power ON the device
2. Press and Hold for 3 seconds contemporarily VOLUME DOWN + ENTER (central key on the frontside) + RESET (the red button under the cover on the backside).
3. The device will be restarted and will ask to press VOLUME UP to complete the reset.

Perhaps you bought a clone? They have different ways to start hardreset.

I have a HTC Touch QUALCOMM ® 7225 + G-Sensor, I can not do hard reset

The method 3 it's not working. Also method 2 and 1 either. RESET key on the back side isn't the red one. Sory gays, but for me that's all not working. My is HTC Jade 3G 100 not a clone. Sorry...

For Clones,
This is how to reset a clone if all methods tried and didn't work, turn off phone, while pressing and holding green and red buttons at the same time, press on/off button on top for 3 secs , you will see a white screen, then let go all buttons, the phone will start to hard reset.

[TUT] how to perform a hardreset!

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

[Q] Motoblur reset

My mom bought a used Moto Bravo and inserted her sim in it for it to say "SIM card is removed or changed. Log in to your MOTOBLUR account to unlock". She doesn't have one and does anyone know how to bypass or erase the current one?

What you should do is a factory reset which will delete all accounts and reset settings to stock as if the phone were new (also will delete any apps you've downloaded)
1. Power the phone off
2. Once off, Press the power button and volume down keys at the same time until you see the M logo and continue holding the volume down button.
2. You should now see a little android and exclamation point, release the button... now press both volume buttons at the same
time.
3. Now you should be in a small menu, scroll down using the volume keys and select the factory reset option using the power button, confirm and let it do its thing without interrupting it.
4. Once it says its complete you should now do the same thing only wipe the cache, it might say cache partition I can't remember
5. Once that's done you can now select the option to reboot your phone. (It may take a while on this first boot up)
You should be fine after that... post if you have results or issues.
*Im not responsible if you mess your phone up.

bought a used phone, has a samsung lock on it?

I just bought a used S5 active and I did a master reset on it to clear out the previous person's info and when i tried to get it to the main screen it has a samsung lock on it. Its on 4.4.2, I've looked up a few ways to bypass it, but most of them require me to be on the language selection screen, when i first boot the phone it goes to a wifi screen, does not give me a language option screen. Does anyone have any idea how to bypass this? I was not able to get ahold of the seller.
thanks

Hi, try to enter recovery mode doing this:
Power Off
Press at the same time: Volume up + Home Button + Power Button
Navigate with the Volume button to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power Button and select Yes
If this doesn't work tell us.

Well, after some tryes,i have done, Resolved.
Many thanks.

Returning Note 3 to factory stock

After a few years of sitting dormant, I found my Note 3 in a drawer a few days ago (thought i sold it on Swappa) ...
I used what I thought was the correct process to return it to stock:
- Turn off device
- Simultaneously hold VOL UP, HOME, POWER
- Release POWER when you see the Note 3 logo
- Release VOL UP & HOME when you see the System Recovery screen
- VOL UP after warning
- Using VOL DOWN choose WIPE DATA / FACTORY RESET
- Select using POWER button
- Using VOL DOWN choose "Delete ALL User Data"
- Select with POWER button
- Highlight REBOOT SYSTEM
- Select REBOOT SYSTEM NOW using POWER button
Upon reboot, the device went to the fresh set up screen (choose language, connect to wifif, etc) but Safestrap and Alliance Rom were still installed.
So I am wondering what the correct OR updated way to return to stock is, or where that can be found, as the few I have found haven't worked, and it's been SO LONG since I ran the Note 3, I honestly don't remember much about it at all.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Did u get the solution?
If yes, how did u do it?
Otherwise u have to hold volume down + home button then press power button, release all n PES's volume up to enter download mode, at that state u have to connect to the computer & flash firmware via Odin
