Does anyone know how to enter triple color screen in Blackstone?
I finally find the way to enter hard rest:
Hold 2 volumn keys at the same time press rest with your stylus, a menu will show up.
Hold volume down while turning on?
right, have you tried?
Yes I have. It worked. But them I had to take out the battery to start the phone again.

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?
i have tried power+volume down+ action key (middle button)and softest still no joy
Start - programs - Clear Storage - 1234
its hang after soft reset, do not let me do any thing with it

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...

can somebody PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO HARD RESET THIS THING!??!? i read themanual .. and along with 40 billion forum posts...
VOLUME DOWN and CENTER BUTTON pressed then pressing the reset pin and still holding the volume down and center button DOES NOT WORK.... regardless whether the phone is OFF or on
help
I had the same problem when i tried it the first time!
Try to Soft reset the device and go to the RGB info screen (where you can see the Boot loader version ect.) then hold the center button and volume down and reset the device again. Then it should work!
btw make sure to press the buttons long enough, you need to press it for at least 10 seconds until it has loaded everything for the HR
Actually what needs to be, this is after trying for almost half hour - down volume, center key and Power (not reset). But has Xui said you need to hold it until you get the screen advising you are about to Hard Reset the device.
BTW Mods, can someone update the Diamond Wiki with this info, I da** near broke by buttons thinkink I was not pressing hard enough. When in actuality I should have press the power and not the SoftReset.
This is what I did:
My touch screen doesn't work.
So I have to hard reset the thing.
Hold the power button to turn off the phone completely
Then hold vol down, center key, power button, around 5-6 seconds,
then you see the boot screen.
Thanks guys, you are super and helpful for sure.
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)
Hi,
I just purchased screen locked phone (requires password to unlock). I thought hard reset will fix it but it does not do anything.
I hope volume UP and volume DOWN buttons simultaneosuly while phone if off then press Power button and release it while continuing holding VolUP and VolDown but nothing happens - phone stays on locked screen. Does this procedure works on locked phones?
Mmmm...
Make sure you're holding the buttons in firmly while you briefly press the power button. It doesn't matter that the device is password protected, all the data will be cleared and set to default ROM settings.
If the device just switches on, it means that one or both of the volume buttons weren't completely pressed when you hit the power button
I tried like 10 times already. I hold both buttons very tight but after pressing power, it just comes back to unlock screen.

hold volume button down and press power button. if you can do this just flash a new rom from the sd card.
This does not do anything either. I hold vol down button while phone is off and press briefly power while still holding button and nothing happens. It comes to load screen.

Hard reset
Be sure first that device (not the screen) is turned off, then:
http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_diamond_2_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html
Thanks,
I figured this out. I was so stupud, I understood phone is off is like screen is Off. It actually meant the whole phone is off instead (had to remove battery for that).
The First thing you need to do: Power-OFF your device.
since it's locked, software interaction may not possible. you need to take the battery out, and put it back in 2-3 seconds later
Then, hold VOLUP and VOLDOWN tightly, and hit the power button to start the hard reset procedure.
