Hard Reset a pin-locked Handset - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Guys,
I am sorry, to post this request. I have tried searching on this forum but haven't achieved what I was looking for hence the post.
I gave my old Kaiser to my 12 year old after upgrading to Touch Pro. He put a PIN Lock on the handset so that his friends wouldn't see his mails. After a few months of usage he managed to change the PIN and forgot it. Now the handset won't unlock. Also on the PIN unlock screen there is some kind of counter going on.
I tried the recommended way of hard resetting. Pressing the two SOft Keys and inserting the stylus in soft reset button. Then hold the soft keys for 20 odd seconds and press Send key and then wait for some confirmation. But all it does is soft reset it.
I thought of flashing the ROM with the standard 6.1 again, but everytime I connect the phone to the PC, it first asks to unlock the handset first.
Is there a way out?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

your pressing the wrong "soft" keys prolly. press the two "inner" buttons, the "minus signs" and reset with stylus button

Make sure you are doing it like this. If it is just soft resetting, it is because you are not getting the soft keys pushed all the way. Use two pencil erasers or pens. The soft keys were not made for fat fingers.

Tilt - Hard Reset - Press "Send" Key??

Greetings,
I am trying to do a hard reset on my Tilt. When pressing both "soft" keys and holding the stylus in the reset button for a few seconds, the screen will go all white with directions to hit the "SEND" key to reset, and any other key to resume.
I cannot find the "SEND" key ... and everything I seem to try simply restarts the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
The send key is the green key on the front thats shaped like a phone. The one you press to start a call.
i am attempting to do a hard reset while pushing both soft keys and using the stylus for the reset button but it does not do a hard reset. THe atnt screen shows and the radio etc and then it goes to the 3g animation (with no sound) and from then on the screen is just black.....
i attempted to flash my phone and during the process it went black. If i do a soft reset i get the tri color screen and it reads this
kais1*0
spl-3.28.Hard
cpld-8
and it says security unlocked above all of that.
When i attempt the hard reset it says
R 1.70.Olinex
G 25.65.30.04h
D 1.62.00.00
please help
You're either not holding the buttons down long enough.
Or you are "fat fingering" the buttons and pressing more then the two soft keys.
OR You have a USB cable plugged in.
So Unplug the Cables. Make sure your are only hitting the two soft keys d0own first. Then press your stylus in and HOLD for 5 seconds or until the Grey Screen appears, whatever is last.

Like the pic? It was taken with my Tilt! I was doing some baby shopping at Baby's R Us a little while ago, and I just cracked up when I saw the box... I knew I could put it to good use on XDA.

i tried that its not working, i cant get into bootloader, i have two tilts one that works fine and this one, i can get into bootload on mine but the problem one doesnt get into it, it just shows the att screen and starts up. The hard reset by pressing the soft keys and soft reset doesnt work either
You bought a faulty unit and the buttons are dead?
not knowing, you accidently bought a stolen unit and it is well secured by the former owner? (not just MS)
Hmmmm you cant hard reset? Either your buttons arent working, your phone has a bad block, or you are not performing the hard reset correctly. Hard reset is a base operation of the phone controlled by SPL if im not mistaken. Hey guys... is it also possible his NAND could be corrupt?
Also, just in case, to perform a hard reset, the correct buttons to hold in are these ( Highlighted by a red dot on each ):

Make sure to hold them in tightly as you soft reset
yeap ive been doing that it just starts up normally, its weird, i found a few weird things.
When starting up if you plug in the usb cable it will freeze at the att screen.
when i get into the home screen 15 reminders go off and the annoying att song plays over and over but i can get glimpses of the old owners stuff and then goes to the sim lock screen. If i plug in the usb at this time everything will freeze but itll still play the att song and vibrate and it then shut off after 10 seconds.

BEST WAY to do a hard reset on Tilt

Well guys i've had my phone totally messed up because i installed the HTC home plug and somehow it messed my phone up and i could not goto clear storage and for some reason could not get the prompt for the hard reset to come up. I searched google and here of couse and didn't find much except for soft keys and the soft reset button. Still could not get the prompt. So hopefully this can help anyone who cannot get the hard reset prompt. I searched to see if there was another thread about how to do this but i couldn't find anything so sorry if this is already posted but heres the steps that worked wonders for me!
1. go into bootloader mode by pressing and holding the camera button with the power button. then use the soft reset button.
(hopefully you come to the tri color screen.
2. When your at this screen.. press and hold then 2 soft keys and while holding those 2 .. use your stylus for the soft reset button.. and hold until the prompt to hard reset comes up
If you have done this correctly you should get the prompt to hard reset follow the steps on screen and you finally got the reset done!
I got this to work many times on the FIRST time so I didn't have to mess with keep trying. I kept trying before I found this and never got the prompt so this helped me alot!!
I'd hate to break your bubble but this has already been covered numerous times in the wiki and all over the kaiser section.
Nice try though
For the 100th time.......

MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THESE BUTTONS and the soft reset button AT THE SAME TIME.
Unless you broke your keyboard, this WILL work. Please note that this is in the Wiki ALL OVER the place!
ok i know it's the left soft key and right soft key but the thing was i trying to get at was: it worked the first time for me when i was in BOOTLOAD mode. i tried hard reseting just on the today screen and i could not get it to work. i went into bootload and tried the reset and it popped right up. like i said it might have been covered. but i could not find where it said do the right soft and left soft while in bootload mode.

Boot loader is NOT necessary. Hold the two buttons, and only those two buttons, and hit the reset button with the stylus. Done.

Dude, can you read? He said that didn't work for him. So it sounds like it was necessary for him to use the bootloader.

[Q] Is my power button going?

I've had my Nexus One since January 2010. Currently running CM7 latest RC, with apps2ext via S2E.
I've noticed the past day or two, often if I press the power button to sleep, it goes off and then pops back on a moment later. Much more rarely, when I press it to wake, it might pop on and off.
This does seem to be somewhat state-dependent though. The off-on behaviour never happens if it's on the lock screen. So sometimes I have to sleep it (it pops on again), then sleep it a second time - but then it sticks.
Is this a sign my power button is starting to go faulty like so many others on here? Or could there be a software component too?

I am not sure I agree with avgjoemomma. Typically when the power buttons starts to go, it won't register presses, rather than registering extra presses. At least, that has been my observations with my two phones that had the powerbuttons go out on me. I would be more inclined to think this is a software issue (plus, they tend to be a lot easier to check).
Since you are on RC1 for CM7, I would try wiping the /system partition manually through recovery and installing one of the later nightlies (there have been quite a few fixes since RC1 came out. If you want to make sure it isn't software, you can do a full wipe including MANUALLY wiping the system partition and then doing a Factory Reset/Data Wipe and reinstalling. This will give you a completely blank slate to see if it is software or hardware.
No. That is most definitely a software issue. I had the same thing when I was running CM7.0.3 Final
I went into the Recovery, cleaned Cache and Dalvik-cache partitions, flashed the same version of the ROM (without having to wipe the device) and the problem was gone. I'd recommend doing this too.
If still it fails to stay ON, I'd recommend wiping the phone and flashing the ROM over again.
Mine is doing something similar.
When i wake the device (trackball) the screen will turn on then instantly go black. I thought it was actually turning off but if you touch the screen you get haptic feedback. You can actually unlock the device and use it but the screen won't turn on until you lock it again and re-wake. I try to avoid using the power button so I have a power widget to lock the screen in my notification bar.
Well it was definitely the hardware.
As of today my power button is entirely non functional. I have trackball wake and a Screen Off shortcut, but if the phone is ever powered down I can't turn it on until I get near a power plug.
Time to go shopping...
