I did the search, but not finding anything...Thanks for the help
Not sure what you want... but you can go to Start...Setings....System and choose CLEAR STORAGE and that will give you a hard reset as far as whiping data.

Don't forget about your good friend, WIKI.
I hard reset a TILT that was locked up after installing Blackberry connect to SD card (known issue). Hold down the two soft keys, then use the stylus to press the reset button for a few seconds, then release while still holding in the soft reset buttons. The warning message comes on, and as said earlier, use the green send key to initiate the data wipe.

interestingly, it does not work on my TyTN II.
However, its working on the Trinity.
It worked on my Kaiser/Tytn ll. Thanks!!!
not for me :-(
Hi,
maybe me being stupid, but this procedure does not work for me. Problem is that I installed software for the iGo bluetooth keyboard (I know ...) and ever since the Kaiser is resetting itself every 30 seconds. So what I get is only the smart mobility message, a short vibrate and then back to start. Anyone any idea how to get out of that? May I just press the wrong softkeys?
many thanks in advance

new situation: the keys I press are definitely the right ones, I can also get into bootloader mode. I flashed the original rom (RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship) back which finished successful but the situation is the same. When I hard reset I am told it has been done, being asked to press the green button and it reverts to the old problem immediately. I should say that I have not modded my device so far, it was in original state before I installed the above mentioned software. Could it be a coincidence and it is a hardware problem?
HELP!!!
I found hard-resetting my HTC TyTN "GB" somewhat unpredictable. Holding down both soft keys while depressing the reset buttone is the correct procedure. It's either related to the HTC_END.cab. Do you have this installed?
Cheers
Strange, can't perform a hard reset either, using the softkeys of my TyTn II. No matter how long I press and hold them, no message screen, no option to hard reset.
The only way is to use Clear Storage.

It's in the Kaiser Wiki, under 'Kaiser resets'.
this is what is says...
Hard Reset **NB** This cannot be performed while the device is connected/charging!**
* Press and hold both soft keys
* Using a stylus, press and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of the phone
* Keep all three buttons pressed until the keypad lights turn off and then flash
* Release the soft reset button while still pressing the soft keys
* Let go of the two soft keys once the message "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen
* Finally, press the green call button to perform the hard reset, or press other key to cancel
1. what buttons are the soft keys..
2. i pressed the power and the camera buttons then the reset set pinhole button.. release the reset pinhole button after the keypads lights go off still nothing..
I've searched the forums, and can't find a report of anything similar...so this might be new...if it isn't, help locating a thread would be great.
- Downloaded Blackberry connect install cab
- Seems to install fine (log looked good before reboot)
- Press "ok" to reboot device, but upon reboot, the device screen is locked at the Windows Mobile screen
The unit seems to be operating fine... I can receive calls - the phone rings, the caller ID pops up, but it stays on top of the Windows Mobile boot screen...
The power button will not shut the unit off...only turns the locked screen on and off
Battery removal and reboot freezes at same spot.
I had deselected all the ActiveSync options including the 'connect via USB' option... and now can't view my device from my laptop...
I've had the TILT only a couple of days...I'm running the stock ATT Tilt ROM & software...added two themes (night palms and the planet reflection ones)... have a 6G microSD card with some songs, pictures, and a device backup...
Looking forward to your suggestions & solutions!!
I tried it on mine and it did the same. So I gave up and did the hard reset and started over without even attempting to install the bb connect.
after hard reset
thanks for the quick response...
the hard reset worked fine...
I repeated the bbconnect setup, this time installing to the device instead of to my card... everything worked fine.
How did you do a hard reset on it?
hard reset
a hard reset will wipe all your data and set it everything back to the default status...it isn't supposed to clear anything on your sd card ... i take mine out anyway.
to do a hard reset, hold both the soft buttons while pressing the reset button w/ the stylus (the reset button is on the bottom edge under the hard OK button )

One thing the instruction did not say rright was to hold the two soft keys and then press the reset then release and wait for the screen to give the instructions. Well the real way is to hold all 3 and wait and the process will be on its way.

this is just not working for me, how long are you pressing the stylus in? how long are you holding the buttons?
When I do it I get the AT&T logo screen (a short vibrate) then it continues to the windows mobile boot screen. I can never get the prompt to erase all data. I've tried the procedure a dozen times, no luck.
Make sure you are pressing the soft buttons and not the 'call' and 'end call' buttons as stated on some sites. Hold those and press stylus into reset until it turns off. Continue holding the buttons until the message comes up.
I've just had to do this for exactly the same reason!
I had the same problem on my Touch. After the hard reset I have found a solution: install application to device memory not on storage card. That helped me and now BB Connect is working fine.
i have tried power+volume down+ action key (middle button)and softest still no joy

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.

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...

hi all, my first ever post in this forum. first of all many thanks for being here.
I was reading too many threads about the diamond. mainly about hard reset problems and new roms. my problem is that I couldn't perform hard reset. searched over the forum, tried what others did, just no result, what I am getting is only soft reset.
the method is:
use reset button while holding volume down & enter buttons , release the reset and keep holding others until the information window appears on the screen... somebody says power button also needed to be hold. somebody suggest holding the enter button very carrefully as it is very easy to activate direction buttons. somebody says rom is need to be updated as existing rom can be corrupted.
I tried all of above, I did update the rom several times and checked if hard reset is working, no result.
my tricolor screen says :
DIAM100 MGF 64M
SPL-1.24.Hard
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x32
I've 1.37.405.1 and radio rom 1.00.25.03 now, I know they are older versions but I tried 1.96. series too but did not throw in another hspl.
is it worth to try flashing with newer hard-spl such as 1.93 and compatible roms. any suggestion is very appreciated. I just wory about it coz read in many threads it is good to perform a hard reset after a new rom.
ps:assuming if it is cannot be changed, any software to perform hard reset? sow somewhere video of it, any help?
thanks for reading
Read this.
http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_diamond_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html
thanks for post but link doesn't work. I assume there is just explaination of normal hard reset method which I tried several times already.
Hi
cant open the above link to confirm if the same as what method i use, press and hold volume down and enter and the reset and release all upon tri colour
i must remove the SIM to get a hardreset.
with inseted SIM the procedure not works on my device (why ever? no idea!)
Just to further clarify:
If you have the CDMA version (like I), you must hold down power button + volume down + enter button at same time. Press the reset button with your third hand and continue holding the buttons until a screen prompts you for a reset. Volume up button will confirm the hard reset.
That's what I had to do and I would love to meet the engineer behind that crazy combination... I had to prop the stylus in a 3 ring binder while holding the three buttons so i could jab the back of the phone into the stylus while my other two hands were preoccupied with this stupid combo.
Arg. Hope this helps

this is not the hard reset. I got the tricolor screen by holding volume down + reset button. for hard reset there must be a window asking your approval if you are confirming hard reset, than pressing volume up is performing it.
while holding volume down + enter and resetting is resulting soft reset only. I tried many times as if I am mistakenly pressing other buttons but not... any help?
edit:with sim or without it didn't make any difference. however, I tried the last method whitesoxxx suggest but didn't hold the reset as I hold the others, will give result in a minute. by the way my device is from orange, is it CDMA (sorry if it sound soo stupid
result:nope, didn't make many difference, still soft reset. one more question: this reset confirmation window, how many second later it suppose to appear?
thanks
my last post might point you in right direction...

It is an incredibly stupid combo! I had to search xda-developers to figure it out the first time because i just didn't believe the user manual!
For me, it works easiest with the diamond face down on the edge of a desk and supported against a heavy object (shelving unit) so that the Vol Down & Enter combo can be done one handed. I then have a hand free to press reset, which is easy with the back cover off!
beleive me i have no any complain about how difficult to reach ald hold all those buttons at same time, I am quite use to it
I sent back the diamond today as hard reset problem was really annoying. I tought mine was defected somehow. will buy another, if next one does the same should I send it back again? is it really necessary to do hard reset after updating rom?
thanks
To perform a hard reset
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and
ENTER button, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
3. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until you see a message on the screen.4. Release the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the
VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other
button to cancel the reset.
4. Release the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the
VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other
button to cancel the reset.
***Check this out! http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_diamond_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html
***I tried it,but the problem with YouTube didn't stop.
Very easy way to Hard reset the phone is by going to phone settings and select "Clear Storage" and enter 1234 click ok. (This is erase all the data and installed programs and will get the factory settings)
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?

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 ...
