Hard reset without power button, how?

My power button stopt working, so i am sending my device back for RMA but I don't want to sent it with al of my data on it. Is there a way I can hard reset without the power button??

Unplug and plug the battery

If that doesn't work, send me a PM.

That just gives my a soft reset, I need a hard reset.
I can drain both batteries but that my take too long.

If you search in this forum for "hardreset.exe" you'll find a small program which makes the hardreset w/o key. I can't remember where it was.

Or download a shipped-rom from the ftp & extract all files from it. Enterbl.exe should be one of them. Put that one on your magician with Act.Sunc. Execute it from within File Explorer on the magician & your device goes into bootloader (you know dark screen reading serial v1.xx). Now soft-reset & your done.

Handy Menu Software can do that...! :wink:

Tweaks2k2 can hard reset your device too :wink:

Thanks to vijay555, who showed me this tool wich also can do a hard reset.

Phone Lock Reset Wizard Mda Vario T Mobile KJAM Singular 8125

Having looked all over for a couple of days
I came across a picture with instructions for
hard resetting a wizard, which is resetting the phone
thus the phone lock as well.
Dead easy really
1. Press the Comm Manager button (top left)
together with the Voice Activation button (top right)
for 2 seconds.
2. Keep holding the 2 buttons above and press the soft reset
(middle right little hole) with the stylus for another 2 seconds.
3. When the black screen appears it'll ask you to click Send
That's it All done !!
The wizard's going to reboot and reset himself.
Hope this is going to help some of you.

This is called 'Hard Reset' and perhaps its known to almost every wizard owner,its supposed to be known though !!!
Anyways ! thanz for the info!

ATENTION PLEASE... Thanks.

Chinese clon HTC Pharos P3470 / dopod P660 Hard Reset

Finally, and after a lot of web search and tries, i could discover how to make a hard reset of this chinese clon of the pharos.
it was hard for me, cause im newbie, so if someone else needs to hard reset his phone, here is the anser!
1.- enter the "Calibrating..." screen by turning the device on with the call key (green) pressed, u will see a white screen with an image of a screwdriver and a key and the "calibrating..." letters, here u can release the keys.
2.- then press both red and green keys, and without releasing, press the back "reset" button. then release the reset button, and next release the other 2 buttons.
in this step nothing seems to happen, thats why its hard to find this is the right way to hard reset this chinese device.
and thats all, your phone starts normally as the first time!
u also can do a hard reset from the windows settings, but this time my windows hanged up when loading
i also discovered that turning this device ON with the end call key (red) pressed, it enters in a white screen with an icon of a hdd with a green arrow facing down to the hdd with the "downloading..." letters under it.
i think this could be the bootloader for this device, but i dont know how to go beyond this point.
the pc cant install its drivers when i plug the usb (and in normal mode it syncs well with the ActiveSync).
maybe i should put the rom files in the SD card, but i dont know where (in wich folder) or wich files...
SO if someone knows how to flash one of this devices, please tell!!
hope someone find this util, and sorry for explaining it sooo long, english is not my mother talk, so if someone wanna translate this (and explain it shorter) feel free to do it!

Hard Reset
hello!
I also have a problem with this phone clon HTC P3470. I installed HTCHome 2.1 and since then it is restarting or freezing before I can do anything. And even with yours instructions I can't do hard reset. I think that I am doing something wrong and I beg you if you can provide me a pictures where to push, because I can't make it.
Thank you!

RE: pictures
thats the same i tryed to install, and as the htc intructions to hard reset it didnt work for that phone i thougt it was lost.
i think maybe different manufacturers build this phone, so maybe yours have a different key combination to hard reset it.
did you reach any of the "downloaing..." or "calibrating..." screens? or you didnt reach that screens neither?
i will post some pics as soon as possible to help you, but in the meantime, you can search and try different key combinations for different phones, it didnt work for me, but trying and trying i discovered this one.
i found a page with a list of the most common combinations for different phone brands and model, but i dont remember its address, just google it, maybe that helps you!

Thank you for your help!
Unfortunately I didn't get any any of the "downloading..." or "calibrating..." screens. When do I need to do hard reset - phone is off or must be on (windows are loading, after that it freezes and restarts).
"1.- enter the "Calibrating..." screen by turning the device on with the call key (green) pressed, u will see a white screen with an image of a screwdriver and a key and the "calibrating..." letters, here u can release the keys." I can't turn on my device with call key, only with power key. And (sorry) but I didn't find reset button, thats why I would like see pictures.
I will try more combos.
Thank you for now!
