Hi,
I've read the hardreset thread but I can't seem to get the screen up by holding volume down and enter key and then pressing reset switch.
If I did the "clear storage" way is this the same as a hard reset? doing the buttons is too hard maybe someone can show me how to do it easily with just 2 hands
Thanks

You don't QUITE have to do them at the same time, if you're quick! To hard reset:
1. Take the back off your phone.
2. Push the red reset button with your stylus.
3. Drop the stylus onto the table, flip your phone over and QUICKLY (within 1-2 seconds) hold down the volume down and Enter keys.
4. Keep them held down until the screen appears, giving you the various hard reset options.
Had Same problem with my brand new phone. The reason it was not working was that I still had the plastic shipping protector over the buttons. It was not registering that the Enter button was being pressed. Moved the protector and it worked straight away.
oh really? I have the protector on still, don't really want to take it off to keep it "new" and avoid scratches. I'm sure I've pushed in the enter button too I've tried using 2 hands, 1 for vol down and 1 for button and I stuck the stylus on the ground and pressed reset with it but doesn't work. Guess it's the protective cover..... hmm I wonder if I should try. do you think the "clear memory" thing is the same as a hard reset?

sorry to be thick
anyone know how to
1.soft reset
2.hard reset
3.enter bootloader mode
4.exit bootloader mode
been scouring this forum. doesnt seem to be posted.
tia ..john..
Dont know about 3 & 4 but 1 & 2 are easy
1. Soft Reset
Poke the stylus into the little hole in the bottom left of the unit. Holding no other buttons. Another way is to remove the batter cover and flip the red switch back and then forth.
2. Hard reset
Poke the styles like above but hold the power button whilst poking.
ok. thanks for that
anyone know why mine only resets when the power button is pressed and the red battery thingy is opened then closed.
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.
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'.

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 tried to hard reset it with volume down+center button + reset, but nothing happens,
is it possible that i broke my reset button; this because i've put an needle in the reset button, the needle went a little bit deeper, but nothing happens,
is there an other way to reset or start up the diamond ???

But only reset work ??
The reset button is in very bad position and is difficult press it
how to press
hi,
shall i press the reset button (on the bottom) with the stylus or with a needle,
or how long must i press it ?
thanks already,
I upload to you this guide for hard and soft reset in pdf file:
http://www.speedyshare.com/918458770.html
If your reset button is dead, you can try to do it like a smartphone.
Battery out
battery in
hold volume down and centre button
press power button for half a second and release it.
keep the rest pressed.
it should go to the hard reset procedure as if you'd used the soft reset button.
Have to say the hard reset for this phone is akward and cumbersome to say the least.

why? don't you have three hands?
something i learned from experience: try and hard reset without the back cover.
much easier to get to the "G spot" (that's how i call it)
to soft/hard reset i am using now software. somewhere in the forum there is a cab with a little app that gives you all the options: soft, hard reset, screen off and pda off.
i found it more and more already included in the new ROMs. so much more easier....
you can see it in swiftbl ROM thread:
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.

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.

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)
