Dude,
You can Hard Rest your device through Clearstore only when the device is running. I assume your device is not powering on, so Hold the Camera Button and the Third button i.e, the Comm button and with your stylus push the reset button. Hold the first two buttons till your get factory reset message on the screen. Once on that screen, press the green button, ie. the call making button. The device will restore itself to the factory settings.
Good luck.
Please help me, nothing happened my qtek s200 is dead i have the same problem suddenly it turned off and never went on again, i replaced the battery and nothing happened just a red light turn on when i connect it to the wall charger. Please help

Somewhat serious trouble

Alright everyone, my G1's touch screen has stopped working. This has happened from time to time, and it works after a usual couple second wait or maybe a shutdown. But this time, it has yet to work after many times of shutting it off, removing the battery, etc. I have tried to hard reset, but always get the same message of "error waiting for notbusy" so i am a bit confused. Please don't tell me I'm going to have to replace.
What ROM are you on? Could be a hardware problem
i was on JF 1.51, but after a call to t-mobile, and about 20 minutes of telling them i've tried hard resetting, i finally got to do the alt+w method, although that did nothing, so they'll be mailing me a replacement.

Leo won't boot anymore

Hi everybody!
Just got my Leo two days ago and I was bombed. Had a 4350 before and you can imagine what big a difference that is. But now this occured and I really don't know what the heck is going on here. Without any reason the Leo froze after not using it for two hours, just an active sync connec. So I grabbed it and it was frozen. Thus i did a soft reset. When it rebooted, for some reason it seemed like the first time I started the device, asked me for the time and google settings etc. Very confused. But then I came to the Homescreen, which was blank, just like after a hard reset. Ok, I thought. This is nasty but all my stuff was backed up, so what. I tried to switch to the settings panel and found it ultra super slow and the settings panel wouldn't even appear on the screen, just the title on top. I thought, this is wrong, very wrong and decieded for another soft reset. And now it won't boot at all. It stands still in the screen where it shows this pink circle and the RUU and whatnot version.
I am speechless. It just doesn't start, tried it like 4 times now. I didn't update RUU or anything since this thing is T-Mobile branded and it wouldn't let me. I tried it this morning but just got the error in windows that my device won't allow... After that I took it for a 3 hour ride outside and used it for like 10 more hours. And now this!
Has this ever occured to anyone else around here?
Any suggestions? I'm quiet angry right now, think I gonna return it tomorrow. Hopefully they don't say I tried to flash it or whatever since I did not. Cannot explain this to me.

Zoimt
hi sounds like bad news have you tried a hard reset
Do a hard reset, press the up and down volume then at the same time press the power button. Keep all three pressed for about three seconds and a hard reset will start. If it happens again you have a faulty device.
I thought a hard reset is only possible in windows. Since I never come so far in booting process, I just tried it once but nothing happend. Not sure if I tried it for 3 seconds I assume I did

Take the battery out then put it back in. Once it's in press all three buttons at once until you see the hard reset begin. It will ask you to confirm by pressing the up volume button.
Oh boy! It started again! I thought I tried to hard reset it with the key combo you also adviced me and nothing happened but this time it worked. Thus I assumed it only works at a later point in the boot process. But thanks for showing me the opposite!
Man, this takes a load off my mind, thanks! Just hope this was a one time thingy and doesn't occur every 28 hours again.

Unable to wake with power button

hey guys,
it started a few weeks ago and has starting happening more and more.
Every now and again when i go to wake my phone by pressing the power button nothing happens and I have to restart teh device. Somethimes after restarting the phone will go back to sleep and it happens again!!
Has anyone else got this problem??
Anyone got any ideas how i can fix it??
I've tried 3 different ROM's and always hard re-set after installing but I'm still getting this problem.
Please help!!!
Thanks in advance
My power button broke about four months ago, so now I have to resort to pulling the stylus out to turn the screen on. Might work as a quick fix for you until you figure it out.
Does anyone know if the on button is a known problem with the HD? Mines caput COMPLETELY now, I can get another one on insurance but this will be the second (headphone socket first time,) HD I've had in 12 months. OR... Anyone know if I can blag Orange into giving me a HD 2 or something more compatible with a mac? (Just inquiring, bought a mac after the HD ya see )
Same problem here, defect power button. I Switch on my device by pulling the stylus and switch it of by pressig the power button very hard (which still works most of the times). I will send it for warranty repair and report what happens.

Vibration stopped working

For the last few hours, the phone is no longer vibrating when pressing keys, when receiving calls/messages or when it boots.
Tried several soft resets but haven't tried a hard reset yet.
Not sure if a hard reset will help since the phone won't even vibrate at boot.
I'm using the 1.66 official ROM.
And no, I haven't dropped it or anything like that
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

If it doesn't vibrate at boot then you've got a hardware problem. There's no way to stop that happening with software. The rest of the usual vibrates can be turned off with software, but not that one.
I hope it's under warranty, or that you can live without it, because they're the only options you've got.
Thanks for your reply.
Thankfully it's under warranty, so I'll be sending it to repair =/
