reset button doesn't work ??? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

hi,
my mda compact IV does not restart, it stuck on the green screen, nothing is possible
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 ???
thanks already,

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:

Hard Reset Kaiser/AT&T Tile?

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..

HELP... Tilt won't hard reset.

I press the power button and camera button while pressing the soft reset button. all I get is a 3 color bar screen that says serial. That's it...
Then I tried to use the clear storage app. I typed in 1234 and clicked yes. nothing happens.
I have htcs home / customier too. and ever since the install I can't fully turn off my phone using the power button.
help please. I just wanted the phone back to default. Not bloatware free.
wrong key combination dude, hard reset is the two soft keys, and then the soft reset button
Push and hold the two soft-keys, then HOLD soft reset until screen changes. It may take a couple attempts...
You're not kidding!!
I tried, same result.. tried again, and again... after about 12 tries it finally worked. Man what a PITA!!
Just persevere!
Luck

Hard reset doesn't work

I'm trying to perform a hard reset on my Tilt and it only does a soft reset (in other words, holding dwon the two softkeys and pressing in the stylus does exactly the same as just pressing in the stylus). I know I can do a hrad reset using software (CLear Storage), but has anyone else had this happen?

u are not doing it right ... make 100% sure the two soft keys are depressed while pressing in stylus
make sure its the 2 soft keys and only the 2 soft keys... hitting the send or end buttons will mess it up... keep holding them in after it starts to reboot too... till the screen comes up to press the send key..like half a second or so
you really don't need to waste all that time and give yourself a hard time with pressing all those buttons...u said u knew about the clear storage applications right?..
.....SO USE IT! clear storage IS a HARD RESET..does everything you need in a hard reset and saves you a lot of trouble..trust me.

diamond doesn't hard reset, please help

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

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.

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)

Howto hard reset / Soft reset?

Howto hard reset / Soft reset?
Soft reset:
Poke your stylus at the reset button.
Hard reset:
1. turn off the phone
2. Hold both right and left buttons (the ones right under the screen, dont know the name)
3. press power button, while still holding the others
Another way of doing it is hold the two buttons and poke your stylus at the reset button, then on your keyborad press r
Dont have the reset button using the ROM from XDA
(Nov 21) Touch-IT X1 M-HD 1.1 <<<UP NOW>>>
The reset button isnt a software feature, its a physical button, located under the battery cover in the middle of the stylus silo.
Check your X1 manual, its all described in there.
Bit of a silly question here but im fairly new to WM, after owning my X1 since for a while now, i've installed all manor of rubbish on it testing bits and bobs out.
Just wanting to know a few things about the reset if anyone could confirm them:
Soft reset:
Just resets the device and boots back up as normal without removing anything?
Hard reset:
Removes everything back to factory default. Though I have heard people not being able to use GPS and messaging/internet. Mine was not a branded device so I imagine it should be fine.
That's about right.
hello
can i just clarify here then - if u soft reset, then u will not lose any files/pictures/programs/softwares etc in ur phone?
cheers

A soft reset is the same as turning the phone off, then back on.

You have to hold the 2 keys mentioned and the power button "all at the same time" then release the power button first. after that press R on your keboard, that should do the trick. tried it and it works
Keep the soft keys HELD DOWN until the color screen shows up.

Soft Rest, Hard reset .. 1 finger
In your dialer type *74*# and then dial.
It will ask you for soft reset, hard reset or Device info.
Eazy, convinient,...working in almost all ROMs (but I have had a ROM where it was not working)... Now I have EneryROM and it works!

Doesn't work for me (Smaberg's Touch X 10.1)
The key thing people are doing wrong is holding down the power button and the two soft keys when hard resetting. make sure you let go of the power button straight away! (continue to hold the soft keys!)
