What is the process for factory reset using h/w keys? The factory reset in settings menu asks for a password before starting the reset process which I don't prefer. Thank you.

Yesterday was installing the drivers for the Redfly viewer on my XDA Mini. When the drivers had finished installing, the device soft reset and wouldn't get past the O2 splash screen. I've been browsing the web for possible solutions but haven't found a definiative answer. Can anybody give me some advice to possible fix my XDA?

This will erase all data and restore your phone to factory default settings.
Hard reset sequence: Press VoiceDial button + Comm Manager button + soft reset.
nah, it hasn't done anything still stuck on O2 splash screen. Thanks anyway

Fixed it, then you need to keep holding down the two buttons while pushing the d-pad, then when prompted pushing the talk button
My cousin downloaded something to his phone and it's causing a force close menu to appear as soon as he turns the phone on and it becomes unresponsive and nothing works, (screen, capacitive buttons, volume rockers).
Is there a way I could factory reset the phone? Like using adb or something?
With phone off press VolUp+VolDown+CenterButton+Power and hold until recovery mode is on.
BTW are you using a custom rom or froyo?

Dear gentleman,
Pls help to save my Defyplus!!!
I get a problem after install app "Slide to unnlock.apk" --> stuck at lock screen, and can not do anything, I try to do Factory Reset but can not go to Settings page
*My Defyplus rooted, but not yet install Boot menu.
Many tks for your kindly support urgently!
What is this app you have installed? Is it from the market? From the forums? What does it do? Is it an app for rooted phones only?
You can try to start your phone in SAFE MODE. When phone starts, hold down volume up button + volume down button until you see the lock screen. It should say SAFE MODE in left corner. Uninstall the app and reboot.
To do a factory reset you do not need to go to settings. When starting your phone, hold down the volume down key BEFORE you turn it on, and keep it pressed. When warning triangle appears, press both volume keys to enter recovery. use volume keys to navigate and select options with power button. Chose "wipe data/factory reset" and reboot.
Read the defy beginner's guide as well.

Many thanks Fiskenigaten,
I collected the app from a forum!
Following your instruction --> Hard reset successed!
Best wish to you all time!
My phone continues to randomly reboot on me. I have tried a soft reset, but that did not fix the problem. What button combination allows me to do a hard reset?
The power button + nothing combo. Hoooold.

If you have Jelly bean than you should power off device > power on using power button and vol down > when you see Lg logo let go and press them again
if you have Kit kat than you should power off device > power on using power button and vol down > when you see LG logo let go and press vol down + vol up
vol down + vol up? hmm i press power + vol down again and it works. i have kk ofc
I have read the other threads who had the same issue. But their Nexus 10 was in unlocked state.
Here is what happened,
1. I updated the Android OS version, since I didnt do for long time.
2. Along with that it updated some other Apps.
3. When it rebooted, it gets stuck at "4 color circle animation"
4. I cant reset to factory settings either. never gets into factory reset screen. I think this is because it was in "locked state" (I had set a lock password).
How do I factory set, is there a way at all?
Probably no factory reset needed. What you need to do:
1. Hold vol up+down+power.
2. Select in the menu (this is the bootloader/fastboot) recovery by using the volume keys. Then press the power button.
3. Once in the recovery you need to hold both volume keys immideatly (it was something like that. If it doesnt work google a bit).
4. Choose wipe cache and confirm with the power button.
5. Select reboot and confirm with power button.
6. Cross fingers.
7. If it doesnt work you need to do a factory reset in the recovery but youll lose your data.
