Dead Wizard won't hard reset

My brand new HTC Wizard has died and I can't re-flash it (as activesync won't detect it) and the hard reset function doesn't work (with hardware buttons). Anyone know of an other way to hard reset? It is rather urgent and I'd rather not have to send it back.
O2 XDA Mini-S branded, starts up radio screen but then goes completely white. LEDs still seem to flash, it won't connect to my PC and it won't respond to anything
EDIT: After posting this the phone finally decided to play nice... Why is it as soon as you look for help it decides to work?
PS. I had to hold com manager, voice record, power AND reset. Not a comfortable possition at all.

The Hard Reset function is supposed to be hard to press, to keep it from happening in a pocket or something. I guess that's a good thing considering how may buttons on my phone get pushed when I sit down with it in the provided leather case ^_^

Not so hard that you require finger contortionists or two people to get it to work. For a start you have to press the soft reset button which is inside the device. It is impossible to hard reset this model by accident, or my Alpine for that matter.

Yeah, got everything back up and running in the end. Just a pain to figure this thing out.

Bricked Polaris? I'm getting crazy !

Hi and hope someone could help and calm me down.
I have an original free Polaris with 6.0, and upgraded with the 6.1 rom from the HTC site. Everything was working fine until today that I soft-reseted.
It boots OK but when it shows the password screen, it doesn't allow me to put it. I touch all the screen and nothing happens, the soft options (unlock and Menu) don't respond either.
Last thing I did about 3 days ago was to install Advconfig 3.3 but I don't think this could damage the phone.
I'm not even able to sincronized because ActiveSync tells me to unlock it first.
I'm really getting mad and I'm desperate !!!!
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help ...

the first thing to do is an hard reset.
try it and tell us what happeans

OK, and many thanks in advance for your fast feedback !!!!!
hard reseting . . .

I'm sorry, nothing happened. Just the same symtomps. I hard reseted pressing the explorer and gps button, while presing the soft-reset with the stylus. It seems that the problem is that when I type, the screen doesn't respond, as if the problem where the presure with the stylus.
Continue desperated ...

Bad Hard-reset. I just misunderstood that I had to keep stylus pressed until tha message appeared. Now I'm back again.
One of the worst hours of my life.
Thanks very much for your suggestions, finally it worked.
Best regards.

ok nice

[Help] HTC HD2 can't start up after edit registry.

Early I edit the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS cache to 2048.
By now I can't start my HD2, it hang on HTC word with R,G,D code number and won't start on window.
Anything I can do for that?

I had to do 2 hard resets due to this tweak. Good thing i just got my phone and didn't lose anything but some some playing around with it.
My problem was a bit different though. It would start up but things won't load properly and seems the screen is not aligned(clicking on shorcuts don't do anything).
Anywhow, it seems this problem is affecting a lot of people, espcially ones with stock roms. I'd just stay away from this tweak for now.

Can't start my phone after Axlor 9.7 this rom ?

Did u try HR? If not try it should help

I got exactly the same problem! Don't know what to do. Can someone please help me!

Not much you can do except hard reset and not use that registry "tweak" next time. I too have run into this, and I cook my own roms... so yeah, some how this is not compatible with the newer rom bases.

Okay.. Thanks mate, how do i do this Hard reset? I think i have tried the most?? Can you please guide me?

take out your battery, put back your battery, while holding volume up and volume down together press power button, release when you see 3 color bars.

thanks .. it works

thanks too! it work for me either!!

Hi guys,
my HD2 remains blocked after HTC word at starting. I did 2 consecutive hard resets (using Vol UP/Down and Power buttons) but the problem remains. Still doesn't start.
Can any one help me on how to make it starting?
Thanks a lot.

boot without external card
try resetting your HD2 without your micro sd card in the slot.
I had this problem before, if you boot your device without an SD card, you might get some errors, but your phone will start.
Then undo the registry tweak and reboot again with micro sd card in slot..
Let me know if it worked

Thank you p50kombi for your help. I've already tried restarting without the m-SD card but it remained unsuccesful. I finally entered the bootloader USB menu and was able to flash my ROM. The problem was probably my Radio which was not compatible with the ROM (i aimed at testing different radio versions - now i know from which Radio version Leo 3.14 is compatible).
Many thanks to you.

MAybe a clue to what ROM/RADIO/SPL/ newly added software or tweaking was on the phone.

It seems that a lot of people have the same problem.And i was thinking that i was the only one... I had the same problem. After a hard reset started again but the problem comes back every time i try to add an application like Cookie Home tab or spb programs or what ever...
The strange thing is that i used Cookie home and a lot of programs since 7 months ago without a problem and i didn't do anything when the problem started.
I used to have HTC Touch 3g for 3 years and never had problems like this and i thought that is a good idea my new phone be another htc....Wrong decision..
Happy new year from Greece.

same issue but

Go to Windows - Settings - Home - Items and check if HTC sense is enabled. If it is unchecked, tick it and you're done. Does the rest of your phone functions normally, besides Sense? If no, then you probably have to do a hard reset. Let me know.
regards, Kuzibri

I use to have this problem, it happened when i use to connect my phone to my computer via active sync or installed a new customisation cab, they was a connection between the two. Just pull your battery out for a soft reset but sometimes as stated above, you will have to do a hard reset which always did annoy me but hey, better then a bricked device

Have you looked here......
worth a shot........

Also several possible solutions posted inside the "Energy Rom" thread. One more is to reinstall CHT, if you use it.

thanks for the replies, but I did a hard reset...
I tried several times to do a soft reset, didn't work, took out the battery and waited for some time...also didn't work...
and I didn't have the patients to wait, so I just did a hard reset...
Sense was enabled in the settings and all...the phone didn' react, and when it did, it took several minutes...
anyways, thanks for the help...
