Hey guys I wanna do a factory restore on my phone but it wont work I think the rom might be blocking it because I tried doing it through the privacy settings and nothing and then I tried doing it through the volume keys and power button and it still didn't restore what do you guys think?
Start>Settings>System>Wipe Device
enter the code & it will efectivily Hard Reset your ROM to ROM default.
If you want go to a factory ROM you going to need to flash a factory ROM
Never seen an Energy issue with Hard Reset not working so guessing problem is likely you !
For more Help would need more details on issue ...
Try to install the original rom version 1.66 of your language.
Reboot the phone and hold down the volume button
rom in named RUU_leo_htc****
i actually figured it out i went into the boot menu and did a reset from there. I forgot you can get into the boot menu my dumb mistake

With all this talk about WM5 devices not really resetting everything after a hard reset, and my device being dead and not recovering after a hard reset makes me think, there must be an alternate way to really hard reset a device back to factory condition.
I tried a lot of combinations of presses to no end. The only thing I am suspicious about but did not play with is a red/white round sticker (which looks like it is hiding a button) under the battery (upper left corner).
Anyone know what that is, or is there a way to do a harder reset? Taking the battery out for a few days did not help either.
Because flash memory actually needs erasing rather than just resetting I doubt it is possible to clear it with a simple button press. It may be you can do a normal hard reset and hold down a button to bypass loading data from the flash then format it. But I've no idea really.

Re-flash the ROM?
uuummm some where in this forum i read that if you have wm2005 and go to boot loader mode you get an option over there to clear the cache or memory something like that, and that would give you a clean installation.....
haven't tried it though.....and i doubt i would get such an option in wm2003se, also i have a similar problem i did a complete flash reinstallation of rom to my device and after the installation i opened windows media player (wasnt the first thing i opened, but didnt copy any files)and guess what....i had a song available over there..... which i could actually play and it did....i checked the location of the file and it was somewhere in my device or documents dont quite remember i did a hard reset again and same issue....
after that i have'nt tried anything the rom is same i just deleted the folder manually but i would also like to know how to TOTALLLLLLY ERASE ALL DATA from the device and clean install everything
regards
on the XDA II and WM5 you hold down the buttons to resent stage then i gives you three options. One of these I am sure clears the phone
I hard reset my Universal several times (well I think I did at least)
Press the soft reset plus the two "-" buttons and you will have a white screen asking if you want to put back your HTC back factory default
Unfortunately that standard hard reset, doesn't do it. I am still stuck at reboot, and the radio rom version shows the attempted upgrade version (01) that started the problem in the first place.
i tried some of them according to herein, but some of them were not function.

there's a little icon called "clear storage" which brings your settings to the factory's default. what's wrong with it?
i'm stuck too in bootloader with my mda pro

This may be too late, but there's no way to do any sort of a reset to revert back to a previous ROM... the only thing you can do is reflash the earlier ROM.

ok ... now the final BIG request ... who can give us an update that works. the patched Maupgradeut_noid is not working with the latest upgrade.
thanks.
To revert back to clean copy of OS (i.e newly installed OS)
Hi,
Just to share with you my experience in reverting my phone to its original OS condition. Before that, just to give you guys some background.
1. Upgraded from PPC2003 to WM5
2. Tried install some patch to enable file transfer (OBEX) in BT
3. Suddenly, the phone screen gone missing. Phone shows No Signal. Cannot receive call.
3a. Did a OS reflash again, but still does not solve the problem.
4. **Panic for a moment **
5. Looked thro Program Files, and seems like some appln i installed were not erased despite doing a hard reset. So, i guess the hard reset doesnt erase some portion of the memory
6. Googled for a solution, but most said do hard reset
7. Went back xda-developers.com site to look for solution
8. Finally found a method. see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1164331 to do a format on the memory
Now, my phone is working fine. The phone screen is back and it shows my telco name, and can receive call
Hope this helps.
Rgds,
Choon
you're in the wrong forum mate
So, I've been using an Android ROM I found on the net on my vogue for some time now, but now I want to try out some other ROMs. However, the RUU requires a connection to ActiveSync, which isn't posible from Android. Anybody know how to do this?
All you have to do is hold the power button and take the pen and soft reset at the same time the phone should go into the hard SPL mode.. From there start up the romupdate you should be good to go
I tried that already, all it does is reboot my phone. No hard SPL mode
Hold the power and the camera buttons and reset to put it in bootloader mode
Ah yes that worked, thanks a lot .
Hi guys,
I need your help regarding an issue with my HD2.
I have a pre-release unit and I tried installing the SMS update from HTC website, but now it won't get out of the bootloader screen, I've tried to install other official ROM's but with no success. The device has SPL 0.67 and it seems that that is cause why I cannot install normal ROM's.
Do you guys know a way to go around that ?
BTW I've tried SSPL and HSPL and they don't work.
Thank you
Have you tried to see if your provider or HTC for your area has an upgraded rom for your device. That may possibly upgrade your spl to at least 1.42?
If no luck there, have you tried doing a hard reset to see if that reverts you to your original rom?
i've already talked to the guys or girls from HTC customer support but they said that the SN and IMEI of the device do not register in their database as an HTC device so they cannot help me.
regarding the hard reset i've tried it many times but no succes.
the solution as i see it so far would be a designated ROM for that tipe of device (pre-sale unit) or some tool to change the SPL of the device.
Have you tried the hard reset to see if you can get back to the original rom so that you have some functionality and not just a paperweight?
yes i did but nothing happend
Sorry to check up, but you won't be the first to have gotten it wrong - you do know the difference between a HARD reset and a SOFT reset?
Hard reset = power off, hold in both UP and Down volume buttons and while holding them in power up the device. Then press volume up and volume up again.
that's what i did
I've heard that there some apps out there that can modify the SPL version. Does anyone have any idea where I can find such an app ?
Contact me, mayb I can help you out!
Sorry for the long description but I think it is better to explain the whole story:
A few days ago I decided to HSPL my HD2 and installed Miri rom. All is working well until today when I need to hard reset the phone. Pressing the two volume keys just did not hard reset it, it just go straight to boot up as normal. The only way to hard reset is to use the Clear Storage.
I thought something has gone wrong so decided to go back to stock rom. So I put the stock Telstra Rom onto the SD card and renaming it to "leoimg.nbh". Then press down volume key and power. It started to show "Loading" but then went back to the boot loader screen. I tried many times and it didn't work. Eventually it worked and succesfully restored to stock rom with SPL 1.42.0000.
I tried the hard reset using volume keys and it is still not working. I then tried to use active sync to install the original stock rom from computer but that failed. (I noticed it did not recognize the version installed on the phone).
I then tried HardSPL again and although it says successful, the boot loader version keeps saying 1.42.0000.
Now I am stuck with the stock rom and cannot flash anything onto it, including stock rom. I suspect this is a hardware problem? Anyone has any suggestion.
I think you messed up with the SD card. I'll say it loud: DON'T EVER AGAIN FLASH FROM THE SD CARD. Now, you may try the HSPL 2, according to the base of your stock rom. For further information, go there. And don't forget: don't ever again... you already know.
Problem is HSPL2 does not work with Telstra phone...
Ok. It was my error. I tried to flash the HD rom instead of the HD2 rom!
Luckily nothing is broken! I now successfully restored to stock rom with SPL1.42 and is able to install HSPL. I can now start flashing Yeepee!!
However, There is still the problem with the hard reset where I can't do it with the volume keys????

Well.. If the device is up and running there is an "Wipe device" Option under "settings" --> "All settings". It is pretty much the same
I knew there is a "Clear Storage" option but I am just concern that it is a hardware problem. I have tried both stock and custom ROMS, with and without HSPL and it is still not working??

i find it is dificult to press both vol up and down with the back cover on. Try it with cover off, there is more give in the buttons. Plus be sure and press the right spot, you can sort of feel the button going down. Do them individually, dont just put both fingers on and press (well, till you get better at it )

You're absolutely right! I tried as you suggested and it worked. I guess the buttons were never properly pressed before. Many thanks. Good to know my phone is still "normal".
Got to love xda!
hi, i am in need of som serios help, im a total noob n i flashed my first ROM with Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.21905.5.0.93_2.13_Radio_2.10.50.26_HG_V3.4.exe
i then last night decided i wanted to switch over to Miri_Steve0007_Elegancia_V8.5
and now the phone will not reset and has a million crashes! iv been trying to go back to the Dutty ROM bt it dosnt let me. can som1 upload what it is that i need to get the dutty rom bak. thank u in advance
when you say crashing, can you give a bit more info? is it locking on a cirtain screen? or in a constant reboot?
you may want to also read through a few of the stickys as if you use the search you most likley will find the cause.
RE: HELP!
More info would be appreciated but I've had issues before and did this:
Performing a factory reset using phone 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.
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.
From that my phone turned on and I was able to create an activesync connection again to flash another ROM.

I flashed many roms and never experience like that as long as you do it as per instruction/ guide in the relevant ROM.
I would suggest you to go into bootloader screen (turn of you phone, then press vol up and down together with the power on button).
Install HSPL (only if you havent installed it), perform task 29, flash the radio (check the radio version required by the ROM), and flash the ROM you want.
Everytime the process reach 100%, you press the vol down button to go into bootloader screen so you dont need to pull out the battery or the cable (but for the last process (flashing the rom), you should press vol down and up together (it will go to hard reset). And for better result, please make sure your battery above 50% and use win xp.
Hope you can solve it.
