Ok so im running custom Paranoid cyanogenmod android rom v1.5 and i need to hard reset all information in my phone.
I've tried doing the both volume buttons and power button to hard reset,but that didnt work,even my messages stayed.
I've tried doing factory reset in option,didn't work either.
When im entering aMAGDLR V1.13 recovery( pressing power button til i enter boot menu) there is an option for AD hard reset or just reset and i think they might work, but the key problem to this is that my calling button isnt working and i just cant choose anything in the boot menu..Any ideas if i could hard reset with pc or in any other way?
Have you tried resetting from within android?
System settings > Privacy (I think) > Factory Reset **BE CAREFUL, this might format your sdcard, I'm not sure. So either keep the card out (If you're not doing a2sd or similar stuff, or back it up**
Also, for the device hard reset, it's volume UP only.. But I think it was part of windows mobile ROMs so it might not work with MAGLDR.
Another option for you to try is to reflash MAGLDR. That might erase your stuff, but I don't know how you'll put CWM back since your CALL key is not working.
Sorry, I don't have the HD2 anymore and I'm kind of rusty.. Hope the above helps

I had some problems with my Touch Dual which forced me to reset it by means of the reset button. Now finally it seems that I've destroyed the button
Since I need Hard Reset (system is locked and I cannot enter the requested "a1b2c3" sequence) just removing the battery is not sufficient.
I there an alternative way to force a Hard Reset?
I think...
Start > Settings > System > Clear Storage
...is the same as a hard reset, other alternative is to reinstall a rom...
Reflash a ROM if you have one.
I also wouldn't be surprised to find there is an mtty command that does it too - check the wiki.
Is there an SSPL for the Niki that would allow people to run mtty commands? not sure but worth checking into...
Found out that with SKTool one can perform a hard rest, too. Works perfect and finally solves my reset button problem
BTW: HTC rejected to fix the button problem, very very very poor service ...
do they have a reset button, cos mine doesn't. i usually have to take the battery out.
which reset button, if you mean the little one in the back you can hard reset by holding red and green buttons when you switch on
Ok I flashed to 20270 rom, and my phone was fine for a while i removed the sd card, and it started a soft reset loop, It will continue to soft reset randomly regardless of if the card is inserted or not does anyone else know why?
Possible the reset button stuck in the "in" position?
Nope the Reset button isn't stuck simply resets at the same place every time if I hard reset it, the loop begins when i reach the end of the align screen setup, It also doesn't soft reset while it's connected to my pc via usb cable
the newer roms require Olipro 2.4 Unlocker. Go to your boot screen (hold power + camera button and hit soft reset) and make sure it says Olipro 2.4. If not, you need to remain in bootloader and unlock it with Olipro 2.4. Good luck!

Go ahead and soft reset your device however this time when doing so hold the volume up and down together and then following instructions.
Hope this helped...
Couple methods of hard resetting:
Turn off device
Hold the volume down & volume up button while you press the power on button.
You should be presented with white screen and text. Press vol up to restore factory settings (i.e. hard reset)
Alternatively,
Go to Start > settings > system > clear storage (may be called 'wipe device' on some roms)
Generally once I flash a rom, before it automatically configures device I remove battery and do a hard reset
Couldn't find a thread with precisely same situation - this morning I left my Iconia with WiFi off on standby with plenty of battery left (70ish %), only to just find it powered off. Now when I try to power it on, it stays in the Android boot animation and doesn't go anywhere from there.
And like I said in the title, it isn't rooted or in any other way hacked, so this is really weird. I think a factory reset would make it work, maybe, but if anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them before resorting to wiping.
Also I have no idea how to do a factory reset without CWM. Long press reset button doesn't seem to work?
Hold Volume Down while turning Power On?
Nope...it tries to run update.zip

A simple method for wiping is described in this thread.
Alternatively you can connect an USB keyboard, boot to recovery (vol-down + power) and press HOME on the keyboard. This will open a menu where you can select factory reset.
It got stuck at "Erasing cache" but I just shut it down and rebooted, now it started. Thanks a lot. Somehow I think I'm going to root it now and put CWM so I won't have to lose all my data because STOCK ROM crashes for some weird reason and I don't have a backup.
in my opinion u should just go ask for replacement....
My DHD is running RcMix 3d v3.392 , I tried factory reset by go to setting->storage->factory reset .

Thanks you very much

Hello, i had this problem before and asked someone in these forums. Apparently when you do a factory reset this way it removes some of the custom rom's essential files and that is why you get this error. This is the way to do it. Do a Data wipe/cache wipe/dav wipe using either 4ext/cwm/etc.... and flash rom. That's it. Don't do a factory reset in the rom or else you will get this problem. What i do is i keep the rom and superwipe in my memory card and follow that process above if i ever need to reset the phone.
You need to pull battery out>put it back in>power on+vol down. Not too sure how you can test if the volume down button is broken sorry about that.
