Desperate to do a hard reset

Excuse my poor writing English.
I was cleanig my sd card whith sk tools program, and I made a mistake and clean all files from main memory.
Now I don't have access to the programs, and the soft reset and the camaras buttons don't work.
How can I do a hard reset in these circumstances?
Please help. I really need the phone working.
Thanks.

hard reset is usually done by holding in the top two inner (menu) buttons while pressing the soft reset button, let go the reset button first then when the warning comes on screen release the other 2. Then press call to start the reset process.

Thank you for the answer.
The problem is the soft reset button doesn't work.
Is there other way to do the hard reset?

hard reset
You shold do:
Start>settings>system>clear storage> it is a hard reset too

Surely if the files on the phones memeory has been wiped the pressing the buttons on the handset will be pointless as there will be no programmes/commands linked to them
Sounds pretty serious to me

Maybe you can try a reflash of the rom?

Thank you.
It seems that I have a serious problem.
If somebody know another way of doing the hard reset, please inform.

when i making hard reset, then XDA in the screen has 3 collored thong with these nr"I PL 1.25.0001 and SPL 1.25.0000"
when i push volume button up or down, with reset button xda start normally but ask for code
What ??is this??
P.S.

Arthur

Ok, seems that the only way is to do a refash of the rom.
How do I make that?
Please help
Thanks.
PS: In the process I hope not to use the active sync, because it doesn't work in my computer

dude i guess you need to reflash the rom
yes you need active synch to run uspl which you need before you flash/reflash a rom
your alternatives
use SD flashing read about it in wiki xda developers i never used it but its there
all the best sincere wishes to recover your pda

just another two thoughts are you aware that if you hold the power button the phone restart it like soft reset!! so i guess you may want to try this b4 anything else i mean hold the two soft buttons & attempt reset via power!!
you may also want to try a programme called IBE Tweaks it has HARD RESET feature built in it!!
let us know how things go

Reflash the rom & dont forget to run a uspl first

After several attempts finally I managed to do the hard reset using the buttons, and my pda is work fine again
In any way, I will try your indications to prevent futures problems.
Thanks jahrami, you have been very useful.

U most welcome so glad u got ur phone back
Congratulations

Diamond dead during hard spl update

HI all! It will be more then great if anybody can help me.
The story is simple one guy decide to unlock his Diamond throw some free way ( I don't know how exectly ) he end with error 260 and DEAD Diamond.
The device does not get into bootloader when pressing Vol_- + reset.
Now this Diamond in my hands.
Can anyone please advice what can I do? can I flash ROM?
P.S. this phone are new and Orange UK branded.
Please help and sorry for my poor English.

something? PLEASE!

You mention you can not get into boot loader by pressing
Vol_- + reset.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On the Diamond you can access bootloader by jsut reseting and holding down the "Vol Down" Key only...
Try this and report back.

Where is this error 260 indicated ? If the ROM starts up and shows some error, the bootloader will work for sure.
Cya,
Viper BJK

try to make an hard reset by press vol down + central button + reset.
maybe you have to use mtty but I can't help you cause I never use it...

That what I told volume down + reset not working with this phone. It is in another one which I have here.
The phone doesn't show any signs of life, I think I need test point or maybe JTAG way to repair it......
Any suggestions?

I don't know I got this phone it this condition with a story about this error.
I don't actually know what happened, but I believe that this phone bricked down in the middle of unlocking process.

Have you tried another battery?

2. with a fully charged battery, reset your device (hard reset) press Volume down + centre round button + soft reset(behind battery cover) all at the same time, release soft reset but keep holding volume down + centre button. You should now have a white screen advising you what to do to complete the hard reset.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Only to make a bit easy this step cause in this way one would be an octopus , soft reset your device with stylus and then, within 3 seconds, hold Vol down + centre round button until you see the tricolour screen. Release the buttons and follow the instructions (Press Vol Up to restore to manufactured settings).

This is the typical case when someone didnt do his homework. Im sure you didnt read the stickies. Poeple be warned, flashing your device can kill it if you dont have a clue on what you are doing. Ive seen a bunch of n00bs bricking their devices just because the didnt read the forum. This question has been ansewred a lot.

Error 260 is a USB communication error. Did this happen during sim unlock or during hardspl install because the thread title says one thing and your post says another.

Booting problem Samsung i780

Hi,
I know that there are several issues concerning my problem but none seem to be working.
I have updated my i780 with a boot,pda,phone rom and after that it only shows the Samsung logo after power up.
I tried several things such as flashing an image (UK) but results in the same.
How long should a hw reset take? Mine takes ages more than 5 hours and still counting.. How long does this takes normally???
Thanks,
Eric

hi efransen,
i think you have to download a complete rom such as "mirage DXHH1" and you have to flash the ppc again (you can flash with mirage without any problem with XP). if your device will start without problems you can update it..
let me know. bye
edit: have you installed correctly the samsung drivers?

Hi Gianvi60,
I'll try.. thanks..
Which files after this complete rom should i be installing to get my i780 into dutch again.. i have the dutch boot/phone/pda files.. should i use them all again?
Eric

Hi..
I've installed the rom DXHH1 (no errors) but still same..
It said i had to do a h/w reset, so i did.. but how long should a hw reset take????
Thanks.

uhmmm.... to have a HR you must have the phone swhitched off then push, in the same time, green button + red button + power on. the procedure will end in 1 minute at least
t o have a dutch translation you must flash a dutch/german PDA part... sorry but i don't use them.. find on google or xda for a german rom
otherwise your telephone have some HW problem..... you can try to switch on by pressing the "9" button.
let me know.... bye and good luck

What to do now ?

Hi,
I tried to load a HardSPL on my Diamond but it went wrong somehow.
My Diamond was stuck at 75% and everything went blank.
Now I can't power it up and even if I put in the power supply doesn't lid up the light of charging.
Is it dead? Can I throw it away? Or is there something I can do ?
THX

may sound stupid but have you tried to remove the battery

Did you tried a hard reset ??
http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_diamond_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html

1. download a new rom
2. put your vol down + soft reset button (or power button).
you should come in a color screen?
3. now start customRUU and let is flash.
4. Voila ur device is recovered

No, it doesn't do anything.
No power up
Doesn't charge.
Nothing.

How old is your device? Diamond was launched in may 2008 so a big change it isn't older then 2 years. In europe HTC devices come standard with a 24 months warranty.
You could send it in for repair in that case, and since the device isn't booting at all, the changes HTC detects that it died during a 'warranty destroying' procedure are not that big. And if they do they will contact you prior to actual repairing/making costs.
Before throwing it away you could give this a try, nothing to loose huh?
