So I have an EVO now, and I want to give my brother my Hero, which has Fresh 2.0b.
How do I reset the phone so he can do an ESN swap?
Basically, is there a way to do a factory reset without doing a Nandroid recovery and reflashing the ROM?
Hard reset is erasing all your data... hold Home+Back+Power to turn on the phone and.... press the trackball.

Is there a way to do a hard reset when the screen freezes upon start up? The rom installed fine but when I went to change the theme it froze. I tried to do a soft reset but that is when began to freeze.

You need to either hard reset or reflash DCD. How many programs did you install before this theme. Could be a bad file or another program you installed. Your phone isn't bricked, it's just stuck.
These are bricks.
Can you tell me how to do a hard reset? The only hard resets I've done are through the settings but I cannot get there. I have heard before that you can push a bush of hard bottuns all at once to do a hard reset. Is this right? Also, how do you do a reflash?

Hold both softkeys (next to red and green phone buttons, not windows or ok buttons) while pressing the reset button with your stylus. You will lose all your data and the phone will be reset to original default settings.
I won't explain flashing, read the Titan wiki in my signature.
Anyone know how?
isn't removing the battery a hard reset?
no that would just soft reset. I want to erase all contents and restore to factory settimgs...
OK sorry, fount it. You need to go into fastboot (power off then hold power and trackball), then select bootloader and clear storage.
You can also go into Settings -> Privacy. There is an option to do a Factory Data Reset

Go ahead and soft reset your device however this time when doing so hold the volume up and down together and then following instructions.
Hope this helped...
Couple methods of hard resetting:
Turn off device
Hold the volume down & volume up button while you press the power on button.
You should be presented with white screen and text. Press vol up to restore factory settings (i.e. hard reset)
Alternatively,
Go to Start > settings > system > clear storage (may be called 'wipe device' on some roms)
Generally once I flash a rom, before it automatically configures device I remove battery and do a hard reset
Ok so im running custom Paranoid cyanogenmod android rom v1.5 and i need to hard reset all information in my phone.
I've tried doing the both volume buttons and power button to hard reset,but that didnt work,even my messages stayed.
I've tried doing factory reset in option,didn't work either.
When im entering aMAGDLR V1.13 recovery( pressing power button til i enter boot menu) there is an option for AD hard reset or just reset and i think they might work, but the key problem to this is that my calling button isnt working and i just cant choose anything in the boot menu..Any ideas if i could hard reset with pc or in any other way?
Have you tried resetting from within android?
System settings > Privacy (I think) > Factory Reset **BE CAREFUL, this might format your sdcard, I'm not sure. So either keep the card out (If you're not doing a2sd or similar stuff, or back it up**
Also, for the device hard reset, it's volume UP only.. But I think it was part of windows mobile ROMs so it might not work with MAGLDR.
Another option for you to try is to reflash MAGLDR. That might erase your stuff, but I don't know how you'll put CWM back since your CALL key is not working.
Sorry, I don't have the HD2 anymore and I'm kind of rusty.. Hope the above helps
Okay so I'm in a bit of a bind, I've been running NSS 6.5 for many months and today I decided to factory reset my phone so I can hand it over to my son. Without thinking, I factory reset from the settings menu and it took me to recovery mode. I immediately tried rebooting the system only to be forced back into recovery. I factory reset from recovery and rebooted and was forced back into recovery. I reflashed the ROM at that point, and rebooted and was forced back into recovery. I'm in a real bind here and I haven't been able to figure out how to get out of this from searching around. I'm really hoping somebody can come through for me here, I would really appreciate the help! Thank you!

Turn off the phone completely. Power on while holding volume and power. Once the lg logo shows let go of the power and press it back down. It should give you the factory reset option. Select yes yes (it won't format just take you to twrp. Once you're in twrp press system (I think that's what it's called - bottom right option). Then select reboot.
