Can anyone advise how I can reset my device to the original state it came in the box. My previous device you had press 2 buttons on the keypad and the reset button. Anyone help with the Kaiser?
Thanks,
Sunny.
Settings -> Sytem -> Clear Storage
Make sure you have backed up your data.
gogol I am your new best friend.....many thanks!
Hold in two soft keys and then reset with stylus thats a true hard reset. Much more info posted in the first sticky in Kaiser Upgrading Thread
"true" hard reset? I think it is the same thing with that "Clear Storage".
Just read the manual and I did once.
Hi sunny
I hope this will help you:
HardReset: Hold Talk and End soft key - Reset :When prompted push Green Talk Button
Enter Bootloader mode: Hold Camera + Power buttons together and reset with stylus
Thanks Chris and others. Very useful!!!
Hi
My device has gone really wrong all of sudden. Keeps locking up, weird application corruption etc. I have taken out the battery a number of times. The phone boots up and seems to be ok, but if I slide out the keyboard nothing happens on screen. If I try and make a call the touch screen will not work to dial a number. Weird screen corruption. I thought this device was too good to be true.
I want to do a hard reset. HOwever not sure what the buttons are.
HardReset: Hold Talk and End soft key - Reset :When prompted push Green Talk Button
What is the "hold talk" and end soft key?
This will clear up any confussion i hope:
-Enter Bootloader mode: Hold Camera + Power buttons together and reset with stylus(thanks pof)
-HardReset: Hold Both soft keys in while pushing in Reset button :When prompted push Green Talk Button to clear data.

keep pressing for 10 seconds?
I have read "hold down the Volume Down and Enter (round navigation) keys and press soft reset while they are pressed" but it seems not working on mine.
Let me know (nothing about the power button)
http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_diamond_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html
follow the instruktions try using google and every search mean...
That should do the trick and if it does not either www.youfail.org or the phone is broken in some way.

Actually, it's Start - settings - clear storage - 1234
Just clearing that up for those that can't find it under programs.
how if press power (hold) and press reset with ur sylus .. ?!
I had to hard reset my Diamond a few days ago.
Press and hold volume down and the action key,
press and hold for a few seconds soft reset button with the stylus (while still holding volume down and action),
release soft reset button but keep the others pressed until the message appears on the screen.
Once the message appears you either press volume up to hard reset and leave internal storage intact or volume down to hard reset and clear internal storage.
If you get the timing wrong the phone will just soft reset and you will need to try again. It took me about six goes to get it right.
i dont understand the hard reset. why would i want to do this!?!

There are many reasons:
1. Youve installed a new ROM and just restored via Sprite backup, only to find that its corrupt
2. Your having problems with your phone hanging / crashing and a soft reset wont work
3. Seems to solve alot of problems (from what ive read on this forum)
4. I dont do it very often, but I did have the issue I listed at the top so it was very handy to not have to reflash the ROM again just because of a software problem
Hope this helps!

you and some of yr friends here didn't even bother to read the manual...where does it write that you use power button?????
the first place to look for an answer must be yr user manual.
if you still have problems use the search button and you'll find lots of info about this trivial subject.
just to prove my point i did a search for you.
hope that next time you'll think twice before you stat a thread.

lol
why did they make it so hard?? lol i am not so elastic!!
just to add to all this i tried everything that you all said (press volume down button + actions button + reset) but it only worked for me when i had the phone off and pressed and held down(power button + volume down button+ action button {middle button} + reset) just incase someone else has probems with it not workin.......try that.
hard...but twhen you have it sussed...its easy
must be if i can do it
I found out that if you push a direction while trying to press the enter button it doesn t work.... took me a while to figure out what i was doing wrong althought it doesn t seem so hard
Read this doc:

I did some testing on my Diamond, and despite the documentation, this worked to hard-reset my phone; however, the POWER button must be pushed down LAST. Otherwise you'll simply turn the phone on.
This is the order:
Code:
volume down button + action button {middle button} + power button + reset
Once you have all buttons pressed, hit the reset button with your stylus and in seconds the hard-reset screen will display.
Have done this several times to confirm (CDMA).
Cheers.
TRied all but finally got it...
power button not needed to actually do the H.Reset, actually you need to press power to make device go in stanby & then press vol down + middle button & then press the reset & leave it... keep holding vol down & middle till the message appears...

After messing around with the device, I am now readying it to be my phone...this means, hard reset to go back to how it was + sync + simcard in etc
The rest procedure is as follows:
If device is on:
Hold Vol Up and Down and at the same time, press the reset button (you will have to remove the back battery cover and it is the RED button under the stylus head and NOT the opposite side which says VOID (this is a screw) )
Your device will reboot and then display on a white Screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data and reset.... etc
Now release your volume buttons and press the Vol UP button to reset it
Any other key will take you out of this and reboot the device without a hard reset.
Obviously soft reset is self explanatory...just press the red button in and release..this will reboot the device without any data loss
This is in your manual too on page 213/214 but it is always easier it being on a forum
Thanks always useful when inevitably I lose the manual

This didn't work on my device but I found out that pressing volume down + the red soft reset button will take you to the bootloader.
Thanks for the useful informations! Much appreciated!
found an easier way. you even dont need to remove the back battery cover to get to the reset button.
1. turn off the D2 by pressing(and holding down) the power button for few seconds! it will ask you if you want to turn of the phone.. "yes"
-for a Softreset just power on again ---> Softreset
-for a Hardreset hold VolUP & VolDn and power on! now you'll get to the white screen telling you everything will be deleted blabla! as akash_84 wrote now just press VolUP ---> Hardreset
Hard Reset for Diamond2 is press 1234 then YES!

Hi Everybody Here,
***DON'T NEED TO REMOVE BACK COVER !!!
***DON'T NEED TO PRESS WITH TWO HANDS !!!
Soft Reset : Press the Power Button for 3 seconds, then YES!
Hard Reset : Go to Start, Settings, System, look for a icon "Clear Storage" ,
Just key in 1234, then YES!
Is this more Simple?

I Followed the instruction step by step to Diamond2 but screen doesnt show any message buit instead I saw many colors such as red, green I think etc. what seems to be the problem can you please help me I need to Hard reset my device.
Make sure you press the volume up and volume down buttons in together and press the reset button, with the screen display you are getting it appears that you are only presing the volume down button
Long time ago found one program for my smartphone, to make restart by software. Here you can get this program:http://rapidshare.com/files/246268871/129_PhoneReboot.rar
Copy both files to device Program files\ folder, rename .ln to .lnk and insert it in Programs folder.
At least it works on my TD2
the vol up + vol down + red button worked. But the one with the vol up + vol down + power button didn't actually work :-?. Maybe didn't press enough time. Thanks a lot!!!
Hard Reset
Hi,
there are now 2 ways to hard reset our devices....
Will one of the hard reset delete the storage card also?
I don't want to try it
I removed the card when I did a hard reset, but I've read in these forums that I will work without removing it (meaning you won't lose anything with a hard reset with the card in). Didn't try it, read about it after I did the reset ...
Does anyone have any ideas on why I am unable to hard reset my diamond?
I've had a look around the forums but haven't been able to find anything.
Doing the standard Vol Down + Enter + reset but it only does a normal soft reset.
Is the "Clear storage and format internal storage" option from the system settings the closest to a hard reset?
Thx in advance

well yes - that is the closest. but before that (since it'll format internal storage too) try this:
1a. press the red soft reset button, release it and immediately (i mean immediately) follow 2 OR
1b. turn off ur fone - keep the top power button pressed, and tap yes to turn it off... once turned off... press once and release the power button and immediately follow 2. OR
1c. take the battery out. put it back in and press the power button once and release and immediately follow 2:
2. press and KEEP PRESSED... Vol Down & Enter (center circle) until the screen shows up asking u to format blah blah...
Are you holding the Vol. DN. & Enter buttons, or just pressing & releasing?
I find the easiest way is to follow steps 1c & 2 written by Cloudedhopes. But, here is a more detailed instruction if you need:
1) Remove, then replace battery {ensures the device is completely off}
2) Press & HOLD: Vol. DN. & Enter buttons
3) Press & release: Power button
4) Release Vol. Dn. & Enter buttons only after grey confirmation screen appears!!! <Very important!
5) Press Vol. Up {resets main memory only; Internal storage is not affected}
6) Wait for device to reboot {You are now hard reset}
If this does not work then, there is something wrong with your hardware. Check to make sure the Vol & enter buttons all work.
@ CloudedHopes: Using the "Clear Storage" program will not clear out the Internal Storage unless you ask it to.
Worked
Thanks to cloudedhopes and Humblehippie
Finally got it boy's
A funny story to it
I had one of those thick mirror screens (screen protectors) on my diamond screen and also on the HW buttons (inluding the Enter button).
The enter button worked fine, or so I thought, for exmaple, I would select calender and hit the Enter button and it would open up the calendar no problem.
So her I am thinking its something else
Anyway, I remove the plastic bit form the Enter button and try to hard reset... VIOLA! Hard reset worked.
Moral of the story? Does not seem to be competely idiot proof
Thanks again guys

I have a big problem guys and need good help fast...
My diamond flipped out on me last night. Soft reset doesnt do squat and it keeps freezing at the first page displaying text: Touch Diamond (and some red lettering on the bottom taht indicates the ROM or some thing like that)
I have tried a hard reset and it doesnt do anything different, just keeps showing the screen where it used to freeze up before and the buttons doesnt do s**t (buttons all worked properly before, I was doing some web surfing and listening to music when it crashed the first time, so I was adjusting the volume and using the enter key quite often)
Now, everything I have tried just keeps freezing it up at that same "welcome/bootup screen and I seem to be quite "bent over" right now...
Do you guys know about an issue regarding my problem and a possible solution? (need the phone for work and all my costumers infos are on it with a backup of it on the internal memory (I know, not bright at all and I realize it now!!)
Any help and suggestions are more then welcome...
HELP!!
I have managed to do hard reset after all...
It seems that my version of the touch diamond is different, even from my users manual
To do a hard reset I must hold POWER, VOLDOWN and ENTER, then press the soft reset button...
But afterthe hard reset, I found out anotherproblem... Opera doesnt work anymore, seems like its not even installed! Its missing a bunc of files.
Did the hard reset had a problem and screwed up the reinitialization process or is it normal?
How can I get it working? (IE is not to my taste and cant even do the landscape mode)
Please someone, need some help!!

If someone can help me please wite here or at my skype didkuivanov
Hello. I have a Huawei W1 running 8.1 GDR1 and yesterday, it just started rebooting endlessly every 5 minutes, and it always took the date back to 8:08 AM 8/27. I tried to hard reset on the about section but it just restarted normally without wiping anything. Tried to do the - and + volume buttons combination but the screen with the exclamation mark disappears as soon as I press the first button. There's no way to hard reset this phone and I don't have any other idea to fix it. What can I do?
How to Factory Reset:
Go to Start > Application list > Settings.
Then scroll to the bottom and choose About.
Tap on Reset your phone.
To confirm the reset tap Yes.
It will take a few minutes to restore the default settings, then your phone will restart.
--- Hard Reset ---
Option 1:
Press and hold the Camera + Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time.
Then release the Power button when the phone vibrates.
After that, release the Camera button and Volume Down when you are prompted on the Format screen option.
Then press Windows button twice to confirm.
Option 2:
Turn your phone off.
Then press and hold the power key and release it when it vibrates.
Press and hold the Volume Down button until the exclamation mark is displayed.
Then input the follow sequence of keys: Volume Up > Volume Down > Power > Volume Down.

I tried all of that, to no avail. In the about section, the phone just reboots and doesn't wipe anything, and the other methods just don't work.
