Hi,
I'm trying to hard reset my HD2 so I can return it clean (expansys is going to send me a new one since this one has a lot of background noise during voicecalls)
I've followed htcwiki instrucions (hold down vol up and down and then press the end button shortly).
Right now my phone is ON with 4 color stripes (red,green,blue and white) and on top it says
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30
and on the bottom it says only "Serial".
Is it doing the hardreset or something is wrong ? How much time will it take ?

You just set your device in "flash" mode, "serial" tell you that the usb cable is not connected.
Thanks !
Maybe I did something wrong. I'm going to try again
All Settings>Systems>Erase Storage does about the same thing... Wiping your device that is.
I somehow haven't figured out how to hard reset either. It says press up AND down volume but it's a toggle? So I can press either up or press down but not both at the same time?
Is there something I'm completely missing because I feel like an idiot

It's not actually a toggle, but it does feel like one. It's just a plastic bar sat over 2 seperate buttons. You just hold the top and the bottom of it down.
Hard reset
Below are instructions from the manual.
I had trouble working out how to reset my HD, but after doing it the first time it was very easy.
When they say, "with the phone turned off", they mean press & hold end button & choose Power off. Next, press up & down vol buttons and then press end again(short press) and the rest.

Ah ok, that explains... perhaps I'm going to give it a try again later on.
Cheers for the replies!

I wouldn't want to break my volume toggle button since that is what it is in my opinion, a toggle.
Maybe you can bend the knob enough to push in both microswitches underneath but it doesn't feel like the right thing to do to me...
Running All Settings>System>Erase Storage effectively does the same thing IMHO, and you don't have to break your volume button ;-)

Hello
Does anyone know how to do a Hard Reset on HD?
Regards

hope that help
Oh and phone has to be off to.
page 278 in the manual
To 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:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel.
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Ladies and Gents,
Now that I have been playing with mine for the best part of 24hrs :-D I can confirm that the best way to do a hard reset is to not bother with the holding down of the volume keys and quickly hitting the on / off button - this didn't work for me ONCE!!
It is however possible if you select the CLEAR STORAGE option in the settings menu and key in 1234.
Works perfectly.
Good luck, and enjoy your HD

Hi,
I need to wipe my HD - it's going back and I'm getting a replacement (original has dead pixels).
Does the Clear Storage actually clear everything like a hard reset?
Also - does this wipe the SD card?
hard reset will not wipe your storage card. It will however wipe your device storage.
Clear storage will do exactly the same thing as a hard reset. It sends your device back to the time it came out of the box for the 1st time.
It leaves your mem card alone.
Cool - thanks for the prompt replies!
I suppose another solution would be to remove the SD card before wiping!
Hope the replacement is ok -then I can start putting my apps back!
Here a Youtube Video how it works:

Thanks Mate I have just tried it and It works perfectly. Although you have to be slight quick because the actual volume button are on the cover. You know what I mean.
EDIT: You can just turn off the phone press the volup and voldown button and press the power button it will go for hard reset. No need for opening back cover.

Thanks!!!!very useful......
Thanks kerni
It's work.
thanks for hard reset
so, if clear storage is the same as hard reset, why do people still bother with the hard way of hard reset?

Clear Storage requies Windows Mobile to be running.
Hard reset provides the same function at a hardware level - i.e. you don't need Windows running...

If your phone does not reboot even after a hard reset I would try flashing a different rom. Would start by restoring stock rom first then using Dummies Guide top flash custom rom

Thanks very much.
what 'nasty' program was this so we can all avoid it?
Hi all, guys. So, the problem is the following...
I need to hard reset mi topaz, but the VolUP + VolDown + PowerON method doesn't work. The 1234 method can't be performed since I can't access start menu. I didn't try the VolUP + VolDown + RED button when Topaz is turned on.
I think it's strange that method 1 doesn't work. It boots normally, like ignoring I'm pressing the two Volume buttons...
Any suggestion, solution, guys?
Thanks in advance!
The RED button method worked, but It's strange why the VolUP + VolDown + PowerOn method is still not working...
the soft reset and power buttons do the same thing, it just reboots the phone, and while phone starts to boot, before splash screen appears, is when you have to hold the volume keys.
So it would be;
Power on, THEN hold both volume keys immediately before device starts to boot,
or
Hit soft reset, THEN hold both volume keys immediately before device starts to boot
Did you do exactly this?

This doesn't work. I think you got it mixed up.
ArtieQ wrote the correct way.
No, it works, you just aren't fast enough.
It's just different ways to get to the same place.
The point is, volumes must be pressed as device begins to boot.
I just soft reset and press them and it always works for me.

That's right! Thank you Bruce Inman, IT WORKS!

----Try---- to reset facotry setting (clear storage).. and since u dont have display light.. so try tothe buttons.
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using buttons on the phone.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
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.

by the way-
as i remember( i didn.n use blkstone for ages);
to enter bootloader on blkstone- just hold down volume btn and press and hold a bit power btn
- so "mariansony" u r absolutly RIGHT,
Ur problem "mariansony" might be.... take a look at the volume buttons under back batt cover.
you will see :
A\both- up and down btns are coated in black,
B\ one or both are well used,so you can see metal contacts....
if A applies -try HR than again
if B applies- u must press down button with no back cover on , use more pressure ,ideally with help of som metal stick (come on,bend fork's "middle finger" )
hope this will get u to btldr
