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.

Hard Reset a pin-locked Handset

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.

Unbrick without Jig?

Hi guys, a friend of mine just bricked his Galaxy (I-9000).
3 button combo for download mode doesn't work.
Screen shows the black screen of death (phone - ! - computer)
Is there any other secret way to reboot in download mode?
Other than build or buy a Jib usb
if it wont reboot in download mode, then no, a jig is required

Try this, worked for me....doesn't seem to work for everyone though.
"Leave Odin Open. Then Plug the USB. While the USB is plugged in and Odin running press and hold volume down + Home + Power. Once the black screen comes release the Power Button. It will get to the download mode"
Worked first time for me.

I was considering getting a usb jig from someone, as my galaxy ace 2 wasn't going anywhere apart from the samsung boot screen... But your method worked like a charm! Many, many thanks :good::good::good:

[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...

Button combinations, External UART and Download Mode JIG

Hey guys, I just received a Focus S from Samsung in error. I just put it through my standard high-level hardware hacking routine.

Code:

BOOTING COMPLETED
Here's what I find interesting... These are the same messages observed on the GalaxyS i9100. Also, this boot mode is apparently not accesible by any other means. It is possible that it is a dedicated dual-boot mode without a kernel. It would be worth researching the partition structures.
Now, if Samsung lets me keep this device, I can see what else I can do. I'd like to probe for the internal UART as well. However, this is as far as I can get without tearing the device apart. I hope this helps in the quest for Android on the Samsung Focus.
I'm sorry about my stupid question.
But what does the Download Mode:::: i really don't know

I domt know... samsung asked for the device back. On GalaxyS devices, you use the tool Odin3 to load firmware through download mode.
