[Q] How to hard reset my X10i? - XPERIA X10 General

I have a X10i & I rooted it fine with all the previous roms & when I ran cleanme.cmd for 026 after editing and deleting some rows, everything seemed fine.
I noticed that my phonebook & a bunch of other things where missing so therefor I decided to unmount the SD-card inside the phone & format it & then reset the phone & everything seemed fine, but when I started the phone & wrote the SIM-PIN code & pressed OK Timescape crashed. I press the button to force it, but it just keeps coming back.
I've tried to repair the phone with SE Companion, but it won't work.
Is there some way to hard reset by pushing some buttons like for the X1-version?

hard reset..???
i didn't find any information about hard rest on google search....all there is soft reset info. which is done through erase all from settings menu
having some random crashes from last few days, tried all firmwares nothing worked so lastly formatted my memory card and everything is fine...
but if i try to use backup and restore and restore contacts through it crashes again and then its impossible to start the phone though i do feel small vibration... i have to remove battery for 5-10 seconds and then put in again, but after restart all contacts are deleted which were restored through backup nd restore..
so it seems there is some problem with backup i made, so now i ve made new contacts and its working fine..
but still 3/10 times when i restart my phone it doesn't start and i have to remove battery...can anybody please advise me wot to do.?
tried everything every firmware rooted or unrooted, tried using without memory card, without using wifi, without downloading any software or backup, still it crashes a bit and around 3/10 times when i restart my phone..it does shutdown properly but does not starts iven if i plug in the charging cable....i have to have to remove battery most of the time..
is there a way to hard reset like there is for x1 ... any ideas devs..?
please help i ve also got iphone but dont want to use it..more addicted to x10 but this problem is giving me hard time
thanks

Dead XDA, Really need your help this time guys!

I was experimenting on the new Rogers ROM in the Kitchen, to see why myself and everyone was having such problems. Of course I made a backup using XDATools to my SD first. (testing to see if I take off all or some of the check marks to add folders and programs if it could be stable.
But it did not work, still got the crap rom with no phone and loads of other problems. So decided to rebuild from SD, worked fine, told me to hard reset and then hard reset in a minute again. I have done this several times with out a problem.
Now after waiting I push the hard reset NOTHING, push all buttons nothing happens. Completly dead. After a while I was able to get back to the bootloader and download SD card ROM again but after hard reset its still dead. Any IDEAS!!!!

Problems with Hard Reset

I had installed WM5 and I've made backup using spb backup. A year ago it worked properly, but when I've done it a few days ago, wanted to restore it, and when wizard made soft reset after restoring it stuck. There was only blue window where was written Windows Mobile. I found somwhere that I have to do hard reset using the three buttons. I've done it and everything started going correctly. However I decided to change my WM5 to WM6. I read a lot of threads and installed WRCX2. I installed some more programms and it worked correctly. Everything was fine. Then i decided to resotre my backup. And everything went as before, despite I used different backup (previous one). I wanted to make hard reset again HOWEVER IT DOESN'T WORK! I hold the two top buttons, then press the reset button with my stylus and it makes only SOFT RESET! WHat am I doing wrong or how to do hard reset in a different way?

Sounds like the problem is the 2 top buttons. Ensure the buttons are held down and re-try.
You were right. At last I managed to do it;] Thank you very!

Touch HD won't boot - Recover contacts before hard reset?

Hi all,
I had a weird problem today. Was on the phone, when time cam to hang up, the phone froze and I couldnt. Waited about a minute for it to unfreeze, no success. I then removed the battery and restarted it. It stuck at the HTC logo.
Here's what I have tried to make it boot :
- Soft reset
- Removed the battery and waited more than an hour, then tried again
- Tried without the micro SD
- Tried without the SIM
- Tried without both
- Tried while connected to a PC
- Tried while plugged to the power supply.
None of this worked, always stuck at the HTC logo.
I can perform a hard reset. Problem is I do not have a recent backup of my contacts, data etc. Last time I synced was in November, and I had a Resco backup scheduled daily to my Micro SD, but now that I checked, for whatever reason no backup happened since mid December.
Is there any way I can recover my contacts before hard resetting? I can get rid of all the other stuff but I NEED all the contacts I added since December and for which I have no backup.
Thanks a lot,
Simo
NOTE : No cooked ROM, I went back to the official HTC Rom

Unfortunayely from what I can tell you need to be able to access your phone to backup your contacts and as you cannot access phone I can't see how you can back these up
It also looks like you may need to hard reset device to fix it ........try removing battery for a whole night and then try again
For future record I backup conacts/emails eveyday, but then again I generally flash a new rom every other day

Hmmm... made me check my backups...
PIMBackup does it's "backup to SD card" magic every night at 23:56
On the other hand, I charge my HD from PC at least once a week, and thus sync data with Outlook.
@simobk: Sorry, but looks like you lost all your new contacts since last Resco backup...
Hope you will check backup functionality more often in the future...
Thank you for your answers... Although it is hard to accept
I learned through another forum that all the contacts are stored to a file called PIM.vol.
Is there anyway I can dump of all the files to a PC without being able to boot? Is there some kind of Safe Mode startup option in Windows Mobile?
Thanks,
Simo

automatic bootloader reload

hi,
I've got the feeling that i'am the first one with this problem...
When I turn on my rooted phone it'll load until the SE logo appears, and after that it does no more than automatically reloading till it comes to the SE logo.
What I've done before:
- flashed, rooted and installed xrecovery via X10FlashTool
- loaded xrecovery, backed up
- "restored" custom rom's (tested out some things etc.)
- or installed them via "update.zip"
I've decided to take the rom from jerpelea BUT before that happens ->
Backed up one more time and got a message that sd card space might not be enough for the backup but it wen't to an normal end (had only 66mb of free space).
Dunno why, but i'am pretty sure i've took the last backed up version of jerpelea's rom -> the backup were i had only 66mb of free space.
Since this fail, i couldn't load other roms or anything else cause xrecovery is not able to start. I can press the back button as many times i want but still nothing else happens .. only thing to see is an SE logo, which disappears after times and then comes back (reboot or something, i think.)
Need some help there...

Do an SEUS repair. When the system asks you to connect your phone, press power, home and back button simoultaneously.
Hope it helps
If you like my post, thank me!
first, i want to thank u!
this helps a lot...
was so shocked that didn't mentioned this option..

S9001 Plus: after reboot new apps are gone, Internal RAM damaged

WARNING not to try this as i did if you have the same problem with loosing apps:
since some month, after every reboot i am loosing apps that were installed new. It was equal if they are installed on internal RAM or moved to SD Card.
then for some time, new installed Apps still stay on the phone, also after a reboot (or hen i run out of battery druing the night). But the problem returns some weeks ago. also i got the old messages in statusbar like You missed a call or new SMS arrived ( but this happenend 3 Weeks ago and every time the same messsages).
Got annoing, but lived with that issue for wome weeks ..
Nus as i want to change to launcher Pro and every time i need to reboot, the launcher was gone, i thought it was a good idea to make a factory reset and wipe all data.
after the next rebot i need to step thought the inital Wlecome steps and at the last step the welcome assistant breaks. and no laucher came up.
Booting to recovery mode and selecting the install an update.zip menu entry, i can see, that most directorys of the installed apps are still there, but it seemed that also the laucher.app is gone. and the Phone lis like bricked as after booting i just kan reach the Taskmanager ....
I Hope the samsung Support is willing to fix this ..
BUT: Do not do a factory reset if your internal RAM is loosing data ...
Format all partitions to make sure the filesystem is ok and use ODIN or CWM to flash a new ROM. Had that problem a while ago with XXKPU and that helped to resolve the issue. Though I don't know what exactly caused these issues.
