What does hard reset do? And how do you do it?
Never mind! I thought it was something else than what you can find under privacy...

I have searched the forum for several hours, but I could not find a solution to the issue I am having. When I do a hard reset, hit send to begin the format, I get an error saying FORMAT Failed, so it boots back up as if it was just a soft reset. I really need a hard reset, but I am not sure how to make this happen. I have reloaded the ROM several times, but it still does not take and comes up just like a soft reset. I went into bootloader and flashed it that way, but still no go. If anyone could help me find a way to rectify this issue, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Here are the steps I take
Hold the comm mgr button and the record button at the same time, while hitting reset button, then I get the screen that says
Press Send to restore
factory default,
Other keys to quit
I then hit the Send button, then it says
FORMAT FAT partition
then really fats, it flashes "Format is failed"
I have no idea what to do next, as I can not get my factory default settings back.
Please help. I would appreciate it GREATLY.
try using a different ROM or a more recent rom. if you can sucessfully upgrade the ROM then it should be able to hard reset.
I have downgraded and updated to different roms, but I still have the same problem. Appreciate the advice. thanks
Interesting post.
I got my mini s on Thursday and after initionaly starting the device, i done a soft reset before the o2 crap was installed (to avoid the o2 extended rom loading), but was then curious as to how my xda mini s would perform with the o2 crap installed, but i cannot hard reset my device. I have followed all the hard reset instructions but it doesnt even give me the option of pressing the send button, all that happens is a soft reset.
It would be handy to know how to overcome this problem for future reference, in case i need to hard reset.
BTW i am happy with device without the o2 crap installed.
did you try going into settings and clearing storage?
i never heard of hard resetting not working before myself
Good point, so I just cleared storage, and BAM, it came up as a hard reset, so I am factory installed. Thanks for the idea, I can not believe I did not think of that. Appreciate your help. Just weird how the hard reset would not do it, thats pretty strange.
glad it worked
if anything, i thought the settings method would have less likely worked compared to the hardware method

Same here - I got mine last week, and the damned shop had obviously demo'd it to someone before they gave it to me (gave being the operative word as I got it on a free upgrade).
Was a bit narked to find loads of contacts in (obviously a SIM copy) and tried to hard-reset using the 2 buttons & reset and it only ever worked once after much pfaffing - is there a knack in the presses/time etc?
The wifi of my device is not turning ON. I am facing this problem since the latest OTA update for yureka.
Please help ASAP.
Try doing a factory reset. If that does not help try installing a custom ROM.
Reboot?
Sometimes simple reboot will work.:angel:

If you have already done hard reset and still not working then go to service station & get this sorted.
This may not be the software issue and custom ROM will not help either.
So recently (like 2 hours ago), my phone started acting like it wasn't on the cricket network anymore. I've rebooted. Taken things out and reinserted them. Nothing works. So I figured I would just hard reset my phone. So I get through the process of getting it to the recovery booting screen only to find out that something WON'T LET ME FACTORY RESET MY PHONE!!! I am frustrated beyond belief and I just want to be able to use my phone. Can anyone please please help me? I am afraid I have a virus or someone is trying to hack my device/already has

What do you mean it wont let you factory reset, what happens when you try it?
Sent from my Galaxy S5 using XDA Labs
Sounds like recovery might be corrupted if it doesn't let you into recovery
Or does it enter recovery? Need a bit more detail about what's actually happening, instead of "Something won't let it reset"
Flash a stock ROM back over the top to repair recovery/system etc and try resetting again
Forgot my pattern like an idiot, I tried resetting with the android device manager but its not working, please help me, im panicing.
Hi.
Similar thing happened to me. Forgot PIN. Tried more than 60 times to enter. Later, tried with one number less and succeeded (entered wrong PIN in the first place).
Only solution is factory reset from recovery
Maybe someone else has another solution. I haven't found any.
If you are rooted maybe this will help.

Otherwise, factory reset. Or don't steal phones.
Are you rooted? If so, then I might be able to help.
I factory reset it and it stay pops up constantly!
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?!? Im willing to try anything. Ive tried all the ones on youtube with the "solution" but it does not work.
I am also running stock too
I also have this problem. Phone is stock, no mods
Is there a way to restore the phone without the built in factory reset?
I think the recovery files built into the phone may be corrupt...
Tried a factory reset and it didn't work

Hey there! I fixed this problem by actually rooting my phone! It went away right when I rooted it. It seems that it cleared the cache.
